YOU'RE INVITED ON A JOURNEY
The DM will paint the world that awaits you, bringing a character from one of Shakespeare's works to life as you choose their adventure. You'll be taken into a world of myths and monsters, all right before you on stage.
A STORY COMES TO LIFE BEFORE YOU, JUST THIS ONCE.
The tale you'll help weave will only happen this once, by audience choices and chance.
Perhaps Juliet will go rogue and defeat Hamlet on the seven seas to become the Pirate King. Maybe Macbeth will slay a siren before he himself is extinguished by a liche. Where will your story take us?
IN THE PRESS
5 Stars! Comic genius! All the panache and clever wit of the best British comedy writers of the 20th century! There are a great many must-see shows in the fringe, but it’s unlikely that you’ll laugh more at any of them than in this inspired hour of humor!
Martin Christie, Edinburgh Evening News UK
Shelby often held crowds in excess of 1000 at a time, which he appeared to do so effortlessly.
Ruth Oakley Senior Festival Programmer, Southbank Centre London
This is a show I could easily see myself going to twice or thrice. Dungeon Master Shelby Bond ushers the audience through an epic tale of Mercutios and monsters. The show is different every night and sure to please the D&D nerd in all of us.
